The Austin Toros have added guard Brad Wanamaker and forward Julian Wright.
Ronald Allen was waived as a result.
Wanamaker (6-4, 210, Pittsburgh) played with several teams in Italy after participating in the 2011 Atlanta Hawks Mini-Camp and playing in two pre-season games. He played four seasons at Pittsburgh, competing in 34 games his senior season averaging 11.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
Wright (6-8, 225, Kansas) played two years collegiately before being selected 13th overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets. Wright played with the Hornets three seasons before being traded to the Toronto Raptors for the 2010-11 season.
The Magic and Warriors are in trade talks involving Monta Ellis, sources confirmed to RealGM.
No trade is imminent, but talks are ongoing say sources.
The willingness of the Warriors to deal Ellis has increased over the past few weeks. While Ellis does not have as much trade value as teammate Stephen Curry, he does represent the franchise’s best opportunity to change the status quo.

LaRon Dendy of Middle Tennessee State has been named the 2012 Sun Belt Player of the Year.

On the All-Sun Belt Third Team are Florida International's Jeremy Allen and Phillip Taylor, Western Kentucky's Derrick Gordon, Malcoln Kirkland of Arkansas State and J.T. Sulton of Middle Tennessee State.
Udofia was the Defensive Player of the Year award and Mitchell won Freshman of the Year honors.
While Dwight Howard would be interested in playing with Chris Paul on the Clippers, the two teams have not engaged in trade talks recently.
A deal for Howard centered around Blake Griffin would surely be something the Magic covet. But sources say the Clippers won't even deal Griffin for Howard.
The reportedly preference for Dwight Howard is to sign with the Nets in the offseason as a free agent, which would allow the franchise to retain the assets they do have.
Howard is enthused about teaming up with Deron Williams and he could likely receive a more lucrative adidas extension in Brooklyn.
The Magic haven't given up on keeping Howard and are interested in a trade for either Steve Nash or Monta Ellis, but both possibilities are remote.
